1. Introduction: Welcome to this
course using chat GPT as a writer as assistance. This course is
aimed at people who write novels and
non-fiction books. I want to explore
using a tool like chat GPT to be an assistant. I don't mean using chat GPT
to write the books for you, and I'll cover that in a moment. But this is purely as an assistant that
you can use to ask questions and generate
ideas and become inspired. Apt? Well, it's a text-based
artificial intelligence at all on what this means is, you can ask it questions
much like an online chats, say on WhatsApp or
Facebook Messenger. Instead of talking
to another person you're talking to, an AI. Ai will give you good
useful responses back. This makes it great for
research as a writer. First of all, I want
to talk a little bit about my thoughts on AI tools for
writers in general. And this is my opinion. So it doesn't necessarily
reflect anyone else's opinion, but this is kind of what I think whenever new
innovations come out, it's quite natural for people to be a bit worried about it. With a lot of the AI based image generation
tools that have come out. It's quite rightly got graphic designers and digital artists little
worried because he's AI tools are
coming out with basically examples of
work that are very good. They're very detailed
and they look great. And they've been
trained on lots and lots or thousands or maybe
even millions of Oddi, pre-existing pieces of artwork. Which is causing a bit of
controversy around who owns the rights to the images that have been used as part of
the training data. But that's not what
I'm talking about. So I'm talking specifically
about writers in general. Now, do I think tools that
chat GPT could write a book? I mean, yeah, they could
don't think there's any good fit for some non-fiction stuff that I've seen people experiment with. It sounds pretty good,
but it's come up with specifically for novels. I personally, I'm
not interested in reading a novel that's
been written by an AI. The reason for that is when
a person writes a book, you're getting an interview
into that person's mind. So no matter what the
story is, your a, or hopefully getting a
fun, engaging story. Also, it's kind of a look into that person's mind
is that you're spending time with the
right and next to you. If you read a book by
Stephen King, e.g. I mean, like it. Yeah, great, great horror
story about the clown. It's a great story
in its own rights, but also because of the strong character
voice in the book. It also feels like you're with Stephen King and he's
telling you that story. I don't personally think
AI can replace that. And I certainly had
no intention or desire to read books
written by an AI at all. But I do think AI tools
that chat GPT are very useful and they work well as
an assistant to a writer. Certainly you can
ask questions too. You can do research, you can brainstorm and fro
around ideas or a story. In that regard, chat GPT is absolutely fantastic
and I'm gonna show you some simple
examples of how I've used chat GPT for some of my work. I'll just start with that
by saying, you know, I don't think towards that chat GPT should be
used for writing novels. I just don't. I think it has to be done
the old-fashioned way which is bombing see
hands-on keyboard. And then the story comes out
of the human because an AI, it may come up with an interest
in action the same e.g. but it's not really, I
don't think I'd be able to capture that kind of
emotional nuance that a human writer or skilled human moieties
gonna be able to give that story and
the characters. But as a tool for research, I think it's very good
about me before we proceed. So my name is Steven haunts. I've written many
books and lots of non-fiction books in the past. But the two that I
think are most relevant here are the ones I
had on the screen. So whilst I've written and published a lot of
non-fiction books before, both through traditional
and self-publish roots, I've now dip my toes into the, the wonderful world
of writing fiction. So my first novel is
called Diary of a Martian. It's a middle grade
science fiction adventure. So it's kinda aimed at the nine to 12-year-old reading group, but I'll try to make it fun and engaging the adults could
actually enjoy it as well. Feel free to check it out
if like sci-fi stories. And I've also
written another book called on writing
your first novel, the journey of a
wanna be novelist. When I wrote this
book as kind of a behind the scenes documentary, I guess, of the writing
of diarrhea the Martians. It's about what it's like
to write your first novel. I use diarrhea for Martian as my example
throughout the book. And I'll talk about how
I came up the idea, how I plan the book, and how it went through
the writing process, the editing process,
cover design, interior design of the
formatting of the book. So it really is not one of
those behind the scenes feature x that you get on a
Blu-ray, this chlorophyll. And my purpose of that
book is I hope it will inspire other writers when they write in
their Facebook. So with that, let's now go
into chat GPT and see how we can use it as a capable
assistance of the writer.
2. Using ChatGPT as a Thesaurus: To here you can see the
main screen for chat GPT. Here you can see the main
window for chat GPT. To access it, you just
open a new browser and go to the URL
chats, that's open. Ai.com is the first time
you've used chat GPT, you will be asked to
create an account. So I am logged in here. Worth noting that at
the time of recording, there is a way you can upgrade
chat GPT for $20 a month. And what this will
do is it'll give you fast response times and give you access to basic services
when it's in high demand. Because chat GPT has
been very popular. Sometimes it can be a bit
hard to access the site. Currently. The upgrade is well, at the time of recording is
only available in the US. Unfortunately for me
because I'm in the UK, I can't actually take
advantage of this great plan. If you are in the
US than currently, it costs $20 a month. If you plan on using chatter
EPT as a writing assistance, fairly often it might be
a worthy upgrade to do. The WeChat GPT works is
very straightforward. We have a little chat window.
Down the bottom here. You type into that text box, hit return and
then chat GPT will respond to look at first is how to use chat GPT is a fancy Thesaurus
because you can actually do some cool things. Have it where you can know
if you're stuck on a word, word usage can get trapped GPT just to help
you along to e.g. say you have a line in the story and if he gets a
fairly good line, but you want to see if THE be taken help you come up
with something better. So this is the query
I'm going to ask. I have a line in
a story and then the rain poured down striking
the ground with force. What I'm asking in chat GPT
is can you write this in a more provocative
and emotive way on a sense of dread
as the rain falls. Let's see what GPT
comes up with. Because sometimes take
a few moments just because the service
can be in high demand. This is why if you have
the ability to pay for the upgrade is
probably worth it. Like I said, he's touching
the PTs suggestion. The sky is unleashed
a rough upon the earth as rain
came crashing down. Each droplet pounding the
ground with unrelenting force, staring a primal fear within those who dare to bear witness. That's pretty cool. Let's ask it for another one. Can you try another version? As the droplets of rain fell, a sense of foreboding
washed over them. But soon the heavens opened up, unleashing a deluge
of water that pounded the Earth
with relentless fury. Each drop like a drumbeat
heralding and impending doom. And that's pretty cool I think. So we want to use in chat GPT
to write your whole story. But sometimes if you
have a line and he, you know, it can do better. But sometimes your brain just isn't going
to work for you. Sometimes you come up, come
up a blank on how to improve some things attract GPT can actually help you
out in those cases, it's a bit like turn into a colleague in the
office and saying, how can I improve this? Getting someone else's opinion? And chat GPT is
very good for that. So let's look at just
one more example. So I need a better word than punish when talking about
telling off a child in a story. She might think that the
word punish is a bit too dramatic or a
bit too forceful. So you just want
another suggestion. Here's some alternative
ways to punish when talking about telling
off a child in a story, scold, reprimand, admonish, rebuke, child, reprove, correct. Discipline, or teach a lesson. So scold, that
sounds quite good. Scold a child for a
talking back to you, e.g. rebuke. That's probably
a bit too harsh. Child. Not so sure. It's cold, quite
good or reprimand. So that's a good example or a couple of
examples of how to use chat GPT to either
suggest some words or does improve on a sentence that you've
already written. Thanks. We'll look at an
example of using chat GPT for research questions.
3. Using ChatGPT to help with research: When you're writing a story
or researching a story, it's quite common that you'd use a search engine like Google or Bing to ask questions and
try and do some research, but check chat GPT can also fulfill that role
for you really well. So let's do a couple of
examples just to illustrate. Let's say you're writing
a story that's going to be setting in prehistoric times. Now, how far back you go
you don't really show. You're going to have
caveman or cave people in it so you
can have dinosaurs. You're not sure. But one question that you
might think about is, did dinosaurs and humans or cave men ever live
at the same time? So we can ask that question. It says no humans
and dinosaurs did not exist on Earth
at the same time, dinosaurs lived on earth
during the Mesozoic Era, which lasted for
about 252 million years ago to 66
million years ago. The first mammals,
which are a group of animals that includes humans, appeared much later
in the fossil record during the Mesozoic Era, but towards the end of it, around 200 million years ago. That's pretty cool. That's quite a very
simple closed question, but it gave quite a good
interesting result there. That has a closed question. Did humans and dinosaurs
exists on earth at the same time check GPT could
have even gone yes or no, but she gave us a
little bit of contact, which is quite useful. Let's ask a more open question and then we can have a
play around with it. You don't necessarily you check GPC just to get one result, it'll give you a result. Then you can ask further probing
questions because one of the cool benefits of chat GPT is it remembers
the conversation. It has conversational history. So you can dive in and
ask further questions, but check GPT still
has the context of the conversation,
which is really smart. So here's a more open question. Is there any documented
evidence of aliens on Earth? Maybe you're writing a
science fiction story or an alien invasion story. There's no credible
documented evidence to support the existence
of aliens on Earth. Fair enough. Despite numerous
claims and reports of sightings and encounters with
extraterrestrial beings. There's no scientific to
be verifiable evidence to support these claims. Many of these reports
can be attributed to natural phenomena, misinterpretations, hoaxes,
or misunderstandings. Okay, fair enough. The search for
extraterrestrial life is an active field of
scientific inquiry. Amongst scientists
have discovered many planets it could
potentially support life. There's currently no evidence of extraterrestrial life
or visitation on Earth. But what about Roswell? What happened there? Let's ask gets incident is a famous UFO sighting
that occurred in 1940, 70 Roswell, New Mexico, USA. I guess it's given us a fair
bit of extra information. I'm not going to eat
all of it out. I mean, you can read it off
the screen yourself. It talks about a weather balloon or top secret military balloon. So we could ask it a
bit more about that. The military balloon were
covered in Roswell as part of a classified program
known as Project Mogul. It's a cool name which
was designed to monitor the Soviet Union's nuclear
weapons session during the early years of the Cold War was quite interesting and it's giving us more information. So you have the ability to
probe and ask more questions. It's a bit like talking to
an expert because I see chat GPT-2 been fed with a huge amounts of training
data from the Internet. So you can really dig in and this is one of the
things I like about it because when you're trying
to plan or researcher novel, you don't always have
the ability to sit down and chat to people
wherever it be, other peers or other people who are writing
group or whatnot. But I find that
personally, I mean, I have a varieties like, nope, I can't just sit around asking
them questions all day. He's just like that chat GPT is a great way of
just researching and actually having a
conversation with something in this
case is an AI system. But it can be really good for stimulating the imagination. I mean, we could be could
private probe a bit further? Say, are there
aliens at Area 51? Not quite sure how much
it's gonna be able to tell us because it's a
top secret base, but we shall see there's no credible evidence support
the claim that are aliens. Area 5011 is a highly classified United
States Air Force facility located in the Nevada desert. I mean, it wasn't actually
honestly expecting it. So give us a an in-depth
answers to that. But it is giving us quite
a lot of information back, which we can then kinda delve into a bit further,
which is pretty cool. Using it for research, as
you can see, is great. You can ask it a question, you can ask a follow
on questions. Then you can copy out this tax. You can stick it into
a research documents and you can see is that
as a way of building up lots of research data for a particular story.
There's quite a few times. So my novel Diary of a Martian, I ask lots of
questions about Mars, the Mars missions, and what would it be like
to live on Mars? Atmospheric pressure and
all that sort of stuff. And it just gave me
loads of information back, which is pretty cool. It's an x. I'm going to use chat GPT to be a bit more
creative and help us with coming up with names, specifically alien
names in my case, because that's what I
found quite useful.
4. Using ChatGPT to suggest names: So my science fiction book, I have some aliens in there, and I've always found coming up with strange names to
be a bit difficult because you'll try and
brainstorm a load of ideas and names and you write
them down and I don't know, maybe it's just me but I was just thinking I
add a not very good. But sometimes I need someone or something to that
GPT in this case, it just suggests
something to me. So let's give it a try and
see what it comes up with. Can you suggest some names
for an alien species? Zan Dorians, epsilon nights. So axions, Korean
suggestions and overwrites. Cause means Liberians for lessons and Oreos.
I pretty cool. So I quite like number
eight, librarians. Can you suggest some alien
names for the live rounds? Lyra, thiazolium, orange,
Solara is Andrey. Alicia, phallus,
nella vault or Zoran. In a few questions, we've got some pretty
cool alien species names. And if one of those
alien species, we've come up with some actual
names of the characters. Now, whether you use those directly or whether
you use them, or you might combine some. So you can have origins
and Landry, e.g. you could combine two together. It doesn't really
matter how you do it. It's just a good way
of giving yourself a little mental nudge to find
out some different names. But let's say you
want to design a bit more down to earth. You want some kind of posh sound in British
names for a period drama? Can you suggest some posh
sounding British names for story set in, let's say the 1920s. Look for, so it
comes out with here. Penelope are going on Gwendolyn Rupert's
Beatrice Montgomery, Priscilla, Reginald,
Henrietta Cedric. Pretty cool. But can you include surnames? Canopy Fairfax
algorithm bearing gold, Gwendolyn Frobisher, Rupert's Cavendish,
Beatrice financial, Montgomery, devo, Priscilla pen
button regimen fits William Henrietta
Ashburn or Cedric, which actually, I like those. Penelope Fairfax,
that sounds cool. You can have a good protagonist
called Penelope Fairfax. Okay, so we've got
some 1920s names. How about a made-up fictional town that
they could live in? Can you suggest some names
for made up British towns? Hope none of these are rude
because in Britain we do have some town names that
sound a bit rude. Childhood on trend, chest field, green pepper written
heath, Bramble, turn on a Evan Hatfield, vowel beach would cross. Ashby park, has some
good names there. So it's a really good
way of suggesting names because I don't
know about you. I find that quite
difficult sometimes. To the next clip we're
going to venture. It's a bit strange or
territory by looking at the generation of alien poetry
actually did for my book. And it was quite cool. So let's have a look.
5. Using ChatGPT to write simple lyrics and poems: In the sequel is my diary
of a Martian novel. I have a scene where
we have some aliens. I'm a bit of a
comedy saying it's a lighthearted seeing
what I'm trying to get the reader to really
bond with the aliens. Were one of them do
a poetry recital in a strange alien language. And what I'm thinking
is it'll be a cross between some hacking and gagging sounds like Klingons
from Star Trek versus the awful Vogue on poetry from Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. And I wanted a little bit of inspiration from chat
GPT to help with that. So let's try it now. Can you write and
alien sounding poem in a strange language that is
similar style to click on, it needs to be quiet. Or for like the Vogue on poetry. Logan, at the Vogue on poetry from Hitchhiker's
Guide to the Galaxy. Who knows what it's going
to come up with here? I'm not even going to attempt
to try and meet that out. I just tried to
first-hand crowding Jack gotten clicks or sing for Pollux and Turkle in the
thorax in sync on fray, ninja tricks in Slate array. It's quite good actually. Well, it's actually
descended into English at one point as to Crimson
battlefield lies, okay, Well, you didn't actually
want any English bits, but I mean that's quite good. Somebody that has kinda
resorted to English, which is not what we asked for. But there's some
interesting ideas there. Can you make it more alien with no English words or phrases? We can ask it to
refine it a bit. But that's more like it. Just visualize my
aliens in my story, reading this out now, it's an open mike poetry
recital of all things. I guess I'm going to click
stop generating there. So it still works
in a few English. Word says it's not,
it's not perfect. You can take bits
hour as you like, and you can create
something that you think is relevant to your story. And this is kind of a
weird niche example. It's saying that
is relevant that I actually did in my book. Isn't there's another
thing that I did that I'm doing in the second
diary for Martian book. Where, because it's a
middle grade story, some of the kids
singing this song. And it's pitched as like the
latest pop song from Earth, which he handles all think
is absolutely awful. Yeah, it's quite common as
parents now we think about the music kids listen
to is pretty terrible. So I asked you to write a very, very annoying pop song. So let's try it now. Can you write a very annoying and
childish pop song about it? Be about robots. Robots, they're so-called. They've got arms
and legs and tools. They beep and beep
and make me smile. They do stuff in just a while. I mean, I did ask you to
write an annoying song. That is, I can imagine
it'd be quite annoying. And again, of course
I said I'd never use chat GPT-2 like an actual book or the actual pros of the story. Because I think that kinda
has to come from the heart, it comes from the person. But sometimes it's doing
things like this gives you a little bit of inspiration. Or you could use that if you needed the whole
lyrics to a song, or you could use
it as inspiration. That's kind of up to you
how far you take it. But when I had to
write this song for the story that these
kids are singing. I mean, I'm terrible
at writing songs. I could never do it and
I'm even worse at poetry. So this actually kinda gave me a little bit of assistance. And then I took the texts
I got from chat GPT and I changed it a bit and I spent a bit of time playing
around with it, but it gave me that
initial kernel of an idea that I could
play around with. So in the next example, we're going to look at how
we can use chat GPT as a way of effectively
being an editor. So we're going to
give you an example that's quite complex, a complex or overly
complex set of sentences. And we're going to ask chat GPT to try and simplify it for us.
6. Using ChatGPT to simplify text: In this next example, I have a pre-written set of sentences which quite
frankly are dreadful, overly complex, overly
wordy, and not very good. But what we can do
is we can just check GPT in some cases to help us simplify some phrases
that we've written. Because sometimes when
you're working on your second revisions
of the book, e.g. sometimes it can be a bit about, you can have a bit of a
mental block when it comes to trying to simplify
your own work. Then about tools like Grammarly and pre-writing a
data which also help. But chat GPT is also
a very capable tool. So I say can you, can you simplify
the following text in quotes so it knows that's
what I want simplified. So I wanted to simplify
is the following. This is a rather
complex sensors that could really do with
being simplified. Although I'm not sure
how to do it is I really want to use this as an example, but I can't think of anything
else on live chat GPT can help me out as it is really rather complex and
not easy to read. I think any reader reading this would be put off by my book. So that's a pretty horrible
piece of prose, isn't it? So let's see what chat
GPT you can do with that. This is what it's come up with. This sentence is complicated
and needs to be simpler. I want to use it as an example, but I don't know
how to simplify it. Can track GPT helped me. It's not easy to read and
leaders might not like my book. So actually it's done a
pretty good job there. It's taken what was a
confusing sentence, not much punctuation and
just Germany, quite awful. And it has created a
simpler version of that. So it's actually
worked out quite well. Now he's not perfect. That first sentence,
this sentence is complicated and
needs to be simpler. We could say instead, this
instance is complicated, needs to be simplified and
probably sound better. But it's actually
done a large part of the work for you there now
actually sounds pretty good. If you're struggling with
editing and revision, they will not throw
some of the texts into chat GPT and see what it can do to help you refine and revise
some of your work. Then the final section
of this course, I want to ask track GPT to help me with some
outlines of a story. So let's take a look.
7. Using ChatGPT to brainstorm story ideas and outlines: I've been using the same chat session all throughout
this course, but what I'm gonna do now is
when we create a new chat. Now when you're coming up with story ideas or an
outline for story, sometimes it's nice to actually sit down with our varieties and throw ideas around and kinda
chew the fat varieties, but that's not always
possible to do. So track GPT is actually pretty good at coming up with
rough outlines for stories which you may or may not use it in the form that
they come out of chat GPT, but it's all about
stimulating creative ideas. Just give you an example. We're just going to throw around some simple ideas and
see what it comes with. Now I have no idea what is
going to come back with. So we're just going to
play around with it, see what it suggests and maybe ask it to refine some ideas, which you can then copy that text out into
another document. You can use some
of the advice that chat GPT comes up with. You combine ideas
or it may actually stimulate your brain to think up alternative ideas
which are better. Again, we're not using chat GPT to write the actual story. I still think that has
to come from the writer. The old-fashioned way, bombing
safe fingers on keyboard. Using an AI to help
brainstorm and develop ideas. He's actually really
useful and I think that's fine. I mean, there's
nothing wrong with that. So here's our prompt. Can you come up with an example outline for an alien
invasion story? Let's see what it comes up with. I guess as far as outlines go, I mean, that's pretty
generic, isn't it? So it's an introduction where we have the
inciting incident. The invasion begins
resistance and survival, discovering aliens weaknesses, a final battle and an epilogue. Now you're not necessarily
going to write it to an award winning story just from that,
but it's a start. So he was wondering
about how you might structure an alien
invasion story. That's not bad. There's some good bit sad. So let's zero in on
just a few bits and let's just see how we
can narrow this down. The alien show their power. The invasion begins in the
alien show their power. So can you suggest some examples where examples how the aliens show their power. So massive alien spaceship
appears in the sky dwarfing all human
aircraft and technology. Aliens use advanced
energy weapons or effortlessly destroyed
military bases in cities. Reminds me of independence day. Then the film Letters. Aliens demonstrate their
superior technology by hacking into and taking control of
human computer systems. Yeah, that sounds good. I is use a psychic
abilities to influence and control human minds
who are getting, they're getting body's
natural vibes from that, the aliens revealed themselves to be much stronger, faster, and more durable than
humans by easily overpowering any
resistance fighters who stand in their way. I didn't show their abilities to terraform or manipulate
the environment is causing massive
earthquake storms and natural disasters. That's kind of interesting
because they're getting an alien invasion story. Then kind of merging it with a typical disaster
story scenario that can be from the aliens, deploy robots or
drones are so much more advanced in any
human technology, easily gathering
intelligence and carrying out targeted attacks. That's pretty cool. A1 is demonstrate their
ability to manipulate time or space using
teleportation, odd or other advanced technology to travel instantaneously
between locations. Some quite interesting
ideas and now you can narrow down into each
of them further. So you can say, give me examples of alien energy weapons
and things like that. We're not gonna
do that now, this next slide you
could do yourself. Let's pick another area so humanity's attempts
to fight back. That sounds cool. We like a good battle. So can you suggest examples
of humanities attempt to fight back
military resistance. So the military launches
a full-scale attack on alien invaders using all available weapons
and technology. It is imagine that the
movie for that now, yeah, lots of CGI,
guerrilla warfare, a group of resistance
fighters use is hit and run tactics to
disrupt the aliens, operatives, operations
and infrastructures. That could be quite
cool is you can have a more intimate small band of guerrilla fighters going in to try and disable the aliens. Cyber warfare, biological
warfare, diplomacy. Human need is attempt to
negotiate a peaceful resolution. I mean, yeah, I mean, you
could have that going on while you have a
gorilla team going in. It could be a nice
interplay between trying to collaborate or
negotiate and attack. That could be good. Espionage. Humans spicy tend to infiltrate the aliens ranks
and gather intelligence. That's pretty cool. Psychological warfare. So humans attempt to use
propaganda, misinformation, or other tactics to undermine the aliens morale and cause
them to turn on each other. That's pretty interesting. Or somebody in health or
human tried to reach out to other civilizations are beings
even from Earth or beyond. I kind of imagined it in a Star Trek scenario,
couldn't use. So we have an alien
invasion coming to Earth and then we
call them the Vulcans to come and help or maybe
the Klingons be quite cool, interest-free query so far we've asked it for a
very simple outline, which admittedly
was quite generic, but it's given us some
food for thought. And just in a couple of
areas we've narrowed down. So we've asked it, I know
how might the Aliens Attack. Some quite nice ideas. You could drill down further. Or that may have
already stimulated your imagination to come
up with other scenarios. We've asked it for some examples of humanity's attempts
to fight back. And there's some
quite good ideas and you could use a combination. I think one hand, you've got diplomacy going
on whilst a larger attack, try and catch Dalian off
guard whilst you attacking. Lovely, I mean, that
could be quite cool. Let's just do one more. So in the epilogue here says The
world has changed forever. I wonder what that means there. Can you give some examples where the world is
changed forever? The end of The story. So rebuilding, the surviving
humans must work to rebuild their cities,
infrastructure and society. Unity, the invasion
brings people together, causing previously
divided factions, put aside their differences and work towards a common goal. That's not me quite a good one
because that's saying that nothing brings people
together like a common enemy. Well, that could
actually play out at the end of the
story where you have different countries
who used to be enemies actually
coming together. Now obviously huge loss
of life, new leadership. So the invasion has
caused a major shift in leadership, cultural changes. The invasion has
caused a shift in cultural attitudes and
values of surviving humans, often reflecting the trauma
and devastation I've experienced IT and technology. So the aliens advanced
technology has been left behind, allowing humans to study it and potentially use it for
their own purposes. I mean, yeah, you would want, if you had a downed alien
spaceship began to investigate it and learn from it fear
of future invasions. So the invasion has left
humans with a lingering fear. Future Alien Attack
prompted them to take steps to prepare
for such a possibility. When I'm getting to see my
mind now I'm getting like an entire series come into mind. I am changes to the planet. The invasion may
have left behind significant environmental damage or changes to the planets, such as the introduction
of alien flora or fauna. That can be quite interesting. There's some of the
remnants of the aliens start to affect the planets, even a good way or bad way. These are some simple examples
of how you can use chat GPT as a writer's assistant. Now, as I stated at the
beginning of the course, I know if a book was, a whole book was
written by chat GPT, would I be interested
in reading it? Probably not because one of the beauties of fiction
and nonfiction as well as, as well as having an engaging story or learning
some interesting facts. You're also spending time
within the mind of the writer. I don't personally think computers ever going
to replace that. It's kind of being
human is what makes us good at writing because
you're spending time in someone else's mind. I don't think that's
ever going to change. And me personally, I
have no intention of using chat GPT to
write the actual book, but using it as a way
of brainstorming ideas, especially if you haven't
got anyone else around that you can ask
these questions to, it's actually really useful. Just this previous example we've done about the alien
invasion story. Now, the outline was incredibly generic that it
came up with to start with. But just by digging into some
of those different areas, It's actually come up
some quite good ideas. Now you could keep
on drilling into this as long as you want
and then copy the text, output it into documents, and then use that as a basis for coming up with the actual plots. So there's lots of
possibilities here. And I think instead of being afraid of these new
technological innovations like chat GPT, instead of being
worried about them. But wherever they're going
to replace this as writers, I think we should
actually embrace them. It's not going to
replace this at all. But as an assistant,
I mean, this is huge. As a writer myself, I can't just spend all my
time talking to people because they're
busy doing their own work. So to actually have
this system that I can just ask well formed, intelligent questions
to actually get good cogent, sensible, and useful responses back is
absolutely game-changing. And I hope you
find that as well. Which is why I wanted to make this course just to show you some simple examples
of how I personally use chat GPT to help me out as a writer and to help me
produce better books. So with that, I
hope you've enjoyed the course and thank
you very much, and I hope you enjoy using
chat GPT going forward. I'd be very grateful if you
could wait this course, so it really helps me out and
leaving a review as well. I'll be incredibly
grateful if you could do that and let people
know about this course. Being people in getting
to watch it with that. Thank you very much.
